Troubleshooting
All Excalibur strobe lightbars are thoroughly tested prior to shipment. However, should you encounter a
problem during installation or during the life of the product, follow the guide below for information on repair and
troubleshooting. Additional information may be obtained from the factory technical help line at 314-426-2700
ext. 2131.
NO STROBE LIGHTS IN THE LIGHTBAR OPERATE - Check the following: 1) +12 VDC source connection
for the control switch box and any in line fuse 2) Connection of the RED and RED/BLK wire at the control
switch box 3) Check the 15 Amp ATO fuse on each power supply. If the fuse is blown, replace it with another
15 Amp fuse and test the lightbar. If the fuse continues to blow, return the power supply only, NOT the entire
lightbar, to the factory for service. For instructions on power supply removal see the " Electronics Module
Removal " section of this manual.
Do not replace the fuse with one of a higher rating. This will damage the power supply and void all
warranties.
WARNING!
!
ONE STROBE LIGHT MODULE DOES NOT OPERATE - Check the defective strobe light module by
switching it with a module that is known to be working.
